MW Mini Driving School - Officially Confirmed

[Gazza]

The LTRR you could go on at least twice a visit.

If you were willing to sit through the preshows twice...

You bet.. I would rather they do a walk through about movie special effects than this. At least you could spend more time in the park.

[MickeyD]

But if the Preshow area was the issue wouldn't it have been easier to just change that part?

[joz]

Could it be that Speedy's is really popular, despite it's woeful capacity and reliability issues? In that case doesn't it make sense to rather than invest in a popular but flawed attraction, to start again and make a significantly better version?

[Brad2912]

Surely little kids would prefer to drive around a looney tune (or god forbid I suggest it, DC) themed track than a miniature version of MW Main Street, which they paid no attention to on the way in as they were looking for batman/bugs bunny.

They should have done this

Isn't that pretty much a Zamperla version of RRRC?

But wasn't that part of the charm and immersion in the experience... I would much rather that then someone just walking me through and onto the river ride.

My absolute favourite theme park experience as a kid was waiting in the Wayne manor for them to pull that book out and open the secret door to the Batcave. I once went on it 6 times straight just for that part.

[MaxxTheMonster]

At the height of my obsession with the park I went 13 days out of 14 and spend each day only doing one ride or experience over and over... By far my favourite was the Movie Magic tour even though it was a fair bit dated by that time.

Sadly the additions the parks now no longer have the appeal to do something as... weird or compulsive... they experience is removed in place of the thrills... Hope this addition is completely immersive for the target audience and I agree with Brad...

No, just no.

There's one of these coasters at Adventure World and it is horribly rough and violent for something supposed to be for kids.

[Zanstabar]

I don't think all hope is lost though...

Someone commented on MW Facebook page asking "Why is there no Superman" and their response was "Stay tuned for some exciting Superman news this year!".

Not sure if this is the correct thread to put it in, but anyway. Do you think it could have something to do with Mini-Cars? Or do you think there might be something else on the way?

The back break express rides again - good call Gazza.

Why is there no superman where? As in a costumed character? This has been discussed before. Don't think we'll be getting another superman themed attraction

Ah fair enough.

[jjuttp]

Maybe it's just cause i hate him, but i would never put "Superman" and "exiting" in the same sentence.

[joz]

What about exciting?

[themagician]

Or maybe as kids drive around into the superman escape part of the park, superman will fly by or something. Just an idea, if they are saying the ride will be a miniature version of movie world

Ah fair enough.

That and the fact it is a bland layout with only a single helix. It's like one step below a wacky worm coaster.

Doomsday might be going ahead...

The side banner wasn't there today so I can bring you some exciting photos of Mini Kids Driving School

[GoGoBoy]

It just doesn't make any sense! A mini Movie World driving ride. What does that even mean? Couldn't they have at least come up with a decent theme? How about tying it into an actual movie with an appropriate license - it's MOVIE world for god's sake! I reckon this attraction is going to seem so out of place - kinda like when The Big Banana at Coffs Harbour added a monorail that went through a space station. Just random

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

looks like (in the foreground) that that is the fountain of stars...

[ShakeShack]

Yes it is. I was there today and took some photos of the start of the installation of the Main Street Buildings. Will upload them later tonight.
